" Green Motion are not to be used!!! "
" Specifically filtered car hire to pick up at the airport but upon booking saw on the notes that we had to get a taxi shuttle transfer to car hire offices which was a 10-15 min drive away. Was met by a bolshy staff member at the offices who immediately told us that as the credit card we'd used to pay for the booking was in the name of the named driver, we had to pay €220 in a further insurance policy. She was rude and pushy and was only interested in upselling extra insurances. Car we booked wasn't what we were given and I feel far inferior. Would never use again and never recommend "

" We have hired from Drivalia several times a year for the past five years but this counted for nothing this time. Unfortunately, a week into our four week holiday we had a call to say my wife's mother had died. We had to return to the UK the following day and therefore dropped the car back over two weeks early. The return staff had zero empathy, no sorry, just "no refund". We have just buried mum and may return to Italy but I'm not sure if we will rent a car as I feel that Drivalia were in a position to re-sell the car that we had paid for. "

" The whole experience put a terrible start to our first visit to Italy and Auto Europe were completely unhelpful. I thought it would be a simpletask to pick up our hire car and drive to our destination but the experience with Auto Europe was a disgrace. The hire company refused to issue with me with a car saying that this often happens with your company and I would have to pay an extra charge of 1733.99 euros to secure a vehicle. This offer was only made after spending nearly 2 hours trying to sort things out with Auto Europe on the phone which did not happen. The fact that one of your operators was rude to me on the phone, completely unhelpful and then hung-up on me is disgraceful! If this had not happened I would probably be blaming Noleggiarre for all of this but their staff were actually very helpful and said this was a regular problem with your company happening at least twice a week. I do hope you sort this problem out so that others are not faced with the saame problems!! "
" The hire company would not accept my voucher from Auto Euro and I had to pay an extra 1733.99 euros to secure a vehicle for my family's holiday. I spent close to 2 hours trying to sort out the problem with Auto Europe's helpline but was unsuccessful. One of your operators actually hung up on me after telling me I was an hour and a half late to pick up my vehicle! "

" Auto Europe are fine. Major reservations about Budget! "
" Decent car, good service at desk and drop off. Budget online support, telephone support and Quick Pass absolutely non existent. No response whatsoever via site, email or phone. Wouldn't use Budget again because if I needed to contact them during a rental I don't feel confident that they would help! "

" Booking was easy and Auto Europe offered a competitive price. Budget was a bit of a let down, however. "
" Pick up was confusing - I waited a while at the desk only to be told I didn't need to wait at the desk, but how was I to know that? The staff inside the car park which was apparently express pick up were moody and disinterested, and it was difficult to navigate pick up since they weren't very forthcoming with assistance. The charge for the child seat was more than suggested at booking, and we had to cross the car park to get it. Otherwise a decent experience - nearly new car, easy drop off. "

" I'm afraid based on this experience I am very unlikely to recommend either Auto Europe or Hertz to a friend. I would welcome your comments on the above and some kind of appropriate compensation/refund for the entirely disappointing experience. I am happy to supply any photographs or copies of invoices if this helps. Kind regards etc. "
" Very unsatisfactory. 1. We were supposed to pick up the car from Terminal 2 at Milan Malpensa but it was closed when we got there and we had to return to the terminal building and take a bus to Terminal 1. As a result we were late reaching our final destination. 2. There was no-one to report the pre-existing damage to the car that we were given. We tried but the only Hertz member of staff wasn't interested. Fortunately we took photographs, which was important because on returning the car Hertz accused us of damaging the car. Having sent them the photographs, they have now apologised but in my experience customers don't like being accused of things they haven't done. 3. The car that we were given was also dirty inside. 4. There was a discrepancy on the Hertz itemised invoice and yours with regard to the pre-paid voucher. You charged us £270.49 for it. Hertz's invoice says €259.29 (which is £223.52). They say that they can't comment on the difference as you are a third party but my understanding from your website is that you are long-standing business partners. So it would be good if you can explain the discrepancy (of £46.97), especially as on your website you promise "unbeatable rates". So, in short the car wasn't where it should have been when we arrived. It was dirty inside and hadn't been cleaned. We were accused of damaging when we hadn't, and there is a significant discrepancy on yours and Hertz's pre-paid voucher. "

" Car all good, just unsure about check in process and card handling. Could have been a genuine mistake. "
" When we got to check in desk, my card was not accepted 3 times by the company. As I didn't have another credit card it was suggested by the woman at check in that I could take out their insurance and would leave a 300 euro deposit. As I already had insurance through you, I declined. I called my credit card company and they advised that no transaction had been requested so my card could not have been declined. Whilst I was on the phone to my credit card company, I asked the agent to try again, this also failed but my credit card company told me no request had gone through. I then asked the agent to try a different card machine and this worked straight away. I wasn't sure whether this was a scam or just a faulty machine. The car was an upgrade on the expected model and drop off was perfect. "

" No staff at drop off and I had to go all the way to the airport arrivals to find someone. At that point the first question I was asked was if I had full insurance with Drivalia (which I didn't). Then after a few minutes I received an email with extra costs for some scratches under the front bumper which they claimed I did. I never caused those scratches and it would have been impossible to check for their presence upon collection as the car was outside in an open parking whilst was pouring rain during a thunderstorm. Moreover, in 20 years of car rental I never had to check for scratches under the car... this company is disappointing to say the least. "

" The experience filled us with dread for the car hire. We had taken photos and videos of the damage to the car before hiring it so we couldn't be charged for damage that was not ours. The staff didn't seem to care that we had ordered a bigger and better car and no discount was given. There was no air con in the back which was awful given the temperatures that week! Never again! "
" The car was of a lower standard than the one we had booked and paid for. It was smaller and not an SUV. The car was covered in dents and scratches. The "at airport" site was not at the terminal we flew into and we had to walk to a bus stop, wait for a bus and go to another terminal. We may as well have booked an off site rental company. Drop off was a nightmare with no signposts and it took a very long time which is unhelpful when we had a flight to catch. "

" Easy to book, good choice of vendors and cars. Priced competitively. "
" Good: We were the only customers at the pick up location so there was zero waiting time. The car was literally brand new and it was the right spec. Less good: They were very keen to sell us additional insurance, warning us that as the car was new, every little mark would be noticed and charged for. I thought this was likely untrue and a bit of a hard sell. I didn't buy their additional insurance. They gave us the keys to the car and pointed at a door to a garage and said "it's in there". There were only 3 cars in the garage and ours wasn't one of them. We went back into the office and they insisted the car was in the garage - they clearly thought we were numpties. When they finally found it in a corner of the car park, we got the impression that somehow this seemed to be our fault. Well, it was a very hot day and maybe they were all a bit frazzled. In the end one of the staff members helped us with our bags, we got the car and it was great. "

" Satisfying service "
" Satisfying service. The Company's office is located in a few minutes drive from the airport and shuttle buses were running every 5 minutes:. The Company's representatives were friendly, respectful and helpful, and offered a car within the pre-booked category. The car was in a good technical condition and reasonably clean. The pickup and drop off procedures took just a few minutes. Only cons were: 1. It was a bit difficult to find the shuttle bus pick up point (even for the Airport staff) as there were no directing signs and no clear instructions mentioned in the booking voucher; 2. The WI-FI at the office did not work. "

" As mentioned above, I travel a lot to Milan Linate from London, back and forth and I often need a car. However, I will not want to use Drivalia in future. Terrible service "
" I hired a car from one of the providers recommended by your website: Drivalia. I am a returning customer however I not sure I will actually come back to use your services again in future. My carhire was for 6 days. When I picked up the car in Linate Airport terminal, I checked the car for existing damages, as one usually does at the point of pick-up. The car was parked in a corner of the parking space, with the passenger side of the car against the wall so I could not see it properly. While I was trying to look that side of the car, the guy supervising the car collection kept saying that all the existing damages were included in the paperwork sent to me by email. He insisted that he personally checked for damages after the previous customer had returned that very car, so to trust him. I left and drove to Brescia which was my final destination. I kept the car inside a private courtyard and did not use it until the day of my return to Linate 6 days later. When I returned the car, the Drivalia guy spotted a couple of dents on one of the car rims on the passenger side of the car. As I did not use the car during the hire period, it is evident to me that those damages were already present at pick-up and had not been properly documented on the paperwork, together with the existing damages. Parking the car in a corner against the wall did not help me making sure that what was documented on the car paperwork did actually match all the existing damages. This costed me an additional 110 Euros. While I am happy to pay for car damages I am responsible for, I am not happy to be taken advantage of due to a careless lack of professionalism on Drivalia's part. It is evident that the sited damages were already there at the point of pick-up. Drivalia quite conveniently did not care enough to record them properly and most likely an additional bill was picked up by the next customer, for the very same damages. I hardly believe I will use Drivalia again. "

" I can't believe there is no one to contact about this. Cannot reach the office at all. They did some money grab on my last rental as well. And tried to give me a piece of garbage car. They really don't respect anyone coming from your service. "
" They charged for damage when I showed proof that it was already there. They lied and said I could leave that the contract was closed and then billed me after. The vehicle was filthy, tires were bald, all sorts of scratches and a cracked mirror, then they claimed I did all of this even though the paper says it was already there. The manager is a thug who has been repeatedly rude to me. Second time renting here. This place is terrible. "

" The following response to my request for support is not acceptable: Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention regarding your previous car rental reservation under voucher number UK5793324 As a Tour Operator, we have contracts with a variety of suppliers all over the world, and can usually arrange to get the car category and specifications required, and act as a mediator between our clients and our suppliers. Thank you for informing Auto Europe of your rental experience. It is only with such feedback that we are able to improve service and communication between Auto Europe, our suppliers, and our clients. According to the document, the extra services provided were agreed upon, and itemized on the document, signed between yourself and the rental company, at the pickup time. By signing it, you have agreed to the terms & conditions of use of the service(s) including the payment of the amount(s) noted on the document, at the end of the rental period. Not being possible to replicate the events at the counter, your rental contract stands as a legally binding document between you and the rental company, which defines and governs the rights, duties, and responsibilities of both parties involved, once reciprocally signed. Auto Europe cannot accept liability for items purchased locally and apologize for not being able to give you a more positive response. "
" I have been charged for the extra amount of 234,24 € without being notified about the extra charge at the counter. Moreover, instead of charging me at the time that I was at the counter, Drivalia kept this amount out of the money deposit of 500 € that was not for this purpose. Super cover service 01.03.2025 = 153,72 € Change Group 5 = 18,30 € Glass and Tyres service 01.03.2025 = 36,60 € Extra Road Assistance 01.03.2025 = 25,62 € It was NOT made clear to me that these services were provided with additional charge and I was NOT given the option to accept or reject them. I don't even understand what they are for, except from the "Road Assistance" which I DID NOT request or approve. "

" Very poor indeed. Charged an unexpected drop off fee despite having a written contract stating otherwise. Provided with a 2WD small family car having booked and paid for a 4WD SUV. Condition of car poor, petrol to 1/4 tank and no washer fluid until realised by attendant. We would never use Moventur again and felt very let down by AutoEurope. "
" 1) Auto Europe provided a written quote of 80 Euro to collect at Linate and drop off at Malpensa. At the Moventur counter we were told that the fee was 120 Euro and that the car would not be released to us (despite showing the AutoEurope booking form) unless we paid the full fee. Moventur advised us that this revised fee had been in effect for more than 3 months. 2) We booked a 4 WD Jeep Cherokee or equivalent. We were told that only a 2WD Ford Focus was available, almost no other cars were present on the lot so we really had no option but to take the car. We were skiing, so a) had a 2WD and b) were very tight for luggage space. 3) The car was not prepared well, the attendant did fill the washer fluid for us but the car was not clean and had a quarter tank of fuel. 4) As this was Friday afternoon, we could not reach Auto Europe to discuss or complain.

" I was late to collect my car, I had accidentally booked it for 10:00 am but did not arrive until 5:00pm. I appreciate that this is outside of the pick up limit. However I was told that the car had been reassigned to another customer and the only option was to make a new booking and the price would be 700.00 euros, almost 500.00 more that my original. Therefore I had no option to seek another more reasonable hire elsewhere. Two days later I reported this to AE but although the customer agent was very helpful and understanding her manager just said no consideration for refund or credit possible. I consider the inflexibility of Gold Car very disappointing especially as I had paid in full for the hire, so never again Gold Car, nor my friends. "

I was denied the rental although I had all the required documents and a valid credit card. Awful company with a dubious business model. I wish you'll have legal consequences for deliberating scamming people and leaving them stranded! "
" I was stranded at the airport. The lady at the counter refused to give me the car I had paid for under pretense that my credit will expire in August. This information was buried in a small print in the attached voucher and never mentioned in your lovely 3 emails that you sent before the rental. The bank confirmed they would not issue a new card before the end of its validity. This rule was completely made up and intendended to scam tourists. The shuttle driver confirmed many people are sent away without a car. This was all in all a scam I was victim of. I will never rent from you again and I will tell everyone about this awful ripoff "

" There was insufficient information communicated from Auto Europe about the pick up location. The Auto Europe rental voucher referred to Terminal 1, so when we arrived at the airport we had to take the airport bus to Terminal 1. There was no Centauro desk at terminal 1 so we called them, to be told there was a shuttle bus to the office outside the airport, from Terminal 2. This obviously caused some confusion and delay to our onward journey and could easily be resolved with some simple and accurate instructions. "
" When we eventually found the office, the car we received was fine but the service light was on and we later discovered it had no screen wash. Further, the oil light came on when cold starting suggesting the oil was very low. We had asked for snow chains and were given a set. Only when we needed them did we discover that they were too small for the tires of the car. This meant we had to leave our destination early to prevent being snowed in. Centauro should provide a vehicle that is serviced, has the fluids topped up and snow chains that are suitable for the vehicle. "

" My booking with Auto Europe included the car rental and "Full Damage & Theft Protection". I was told the only extra charges that would be made by your company would be a one-way fee of around €83. However, I was charged €363.56 by Drivalia for "Super cover" and "Extra road assistance" and a one-way fee. I was not told of any extra charges either when picking the car up or dropping off and only found out at a later day. These extra accessories "Super cover" and "Extra road assistance" were in no way explained to me at pick up.

" Although we advised auto Europe of our delay because of our flight cancellation we were told to cancel our booking and remake on our arrival.This we did and our rental was twice as much and on far less favourable terms as we would be classified as a no show .Fortunately we had taken out cancellation insurance so at least we are getting original fee back. We feel there should be some protection for the customer should this occur through no fault of their own.It wasn't as if we weren't going to take the car and it was only a delay of five hours of which we alerted them immediately.We are out of pocket by at least £300.It caused much stress and inconvenience. "
" Our criticism was our outward flight was cancelled by British Airways and meant 6 hour delay in our arrival . Advised Auto Europe of this immediately and advised to cancel and as they said we would classify as a no show.On arrival at Rental Plus our new booking was twice as much and on much less favourable terms.Rental Plus did not honour original agreement and said it was the fault of auto Europe for advising us to cancel.in all other respects our rental went smoothly and Rental Plus were polite and helpful and the shuttle bus efficient to and from airport.

" As mentioned above, our main issue was discovering that we were dealing with Locauto, not Enterprise, despite booking through Enterprise. Had we known, we would have booked directly with Locauto, which was listed at a lower price on your website. Why list these companies separately if they are essentially the same booking? "
" Upon collecting our pre-reserved vehicle from Milan Linate Airport, we were surprised to find we were renting from Locauto, not Enterprise as expected. Had we been aware of this, we would have booked with Locauto, which was cheaper on the Auto Europe website. Despite arriving on time, we were told the car was still being cleaned, and were shown to a different car. While the vehicle provided wasn't the one we originally reserved, it was suitable for our needs. Unfortunately, the real issues began once we were on the road. En route to our hotel, a warning light for the AdBlue system came on. Never having dealt with AdBlue in the past, this caused significant confusion and frustration, requiring us to research the issue once we got to the hotel and find a solution at a petrol station, which disrupted our plans. In the meantime, two more warning lights appeared - a sensor issue and an engine warning light. While the sensor light was intermittent, the engine warning was very concerning, adding stress to our holiday. We immediately contacted Locauto to report the issue and were informed the car needed to be replaced. After providing our location, which was nearly 300km away from Milan, we received no further communication. We were left with a potentially unsafe vehicle and were nervous about exploring the area as planned. As our return date approached, we followed up with Locauto to ask if we could safely drive the car back to Linate Airport given the engine warning. Yet again, we were met with complete silence. The total lack of communication and support was not only inconvenient but also potentially unsafe, creating undue stress and impacting the enjoyment of our holiday. "

" I have just received my credit card bill through to find I have been charged £602.35 by Maggiore car rental in addition to the £560.37 paid on 6th February 2024. When I collected the car I was asked if I wanted to have comprehensive insurance on the car which I thought had already been paid and therefore assumed I hadn't paid this when renting the car. I assumed the amount I was paying was going to be the total for the car hire and never did I expect to be charged a further £602.35 on top of the £560.37 already paid. On returning home I can see that I had already paid for insurance on the vehicle for the length of my hiring agreement. How it can be justified to charge more than the original price of the car hire for "insurance" when insurance was already in place for the length of the loan agreement. It was not made at all clear to me that the amount of £602.35 was an additional cost over and above the £560.37 and if this has been made abundantly clear to me at the time there is absolutely no chance that I would have paid this. It would seem to me that this amount of money being charged cannot be justified and preys on holiday makers being led to believe that without this they would not have comprehensive insurance on the car. If I had known that I would be paying £1,162.72 for car hire for ten days I would have requested something other than a Fiat Tipo. I am most displeased about my experience and feel that experience has tarnished a holiday as I now have to find the money to pay off my credit card bill for a car hire bill that has more than doubled, I would therefore request a refund of the additional £602.35 charged "

" I had to speak to Auto Europe staff in the UK to advise that our flight had been delayed & to notify Enterprise Milan Airport that we would be late. The Auto Europe staff member wanted to know an exact time we would pick up the car (something near impossible as I didn't know how long the delay would be!) Anyway, I had to guess a time which proved fairly accurate. This was ridiculous. "
" Generally fine, although 1/2 hr queue to get keys to car & do paperwork. A big issue for me however was in relation to the Sat Nav (which I mentioned at the desk). The Enterprise lady asked if I wanted Sat Nav. I told her that I had paid an upgraded price to ensure that there was Sat Nav as standard on the car. She told me I had to pay to use it or use my phone for navigation purposes. I wanted to use what was on the car. Was she going to disable it? Anyway, she charged me around €90 for the period I had the car for the use of a Sat Nav system already in the car. Very annoying & clearly a rip off. "

" I have just collected my car on this reservation and can genuinely say I have never had such a poor experience. I have used auto Europe previously but not encountered this situation. I arrived at the hire pick up point and was told that they don't own a Land Rover Discovery and never have. The then proceeded to show me wholly inappropriate alternatives including the car I eventually left with a ford cougar. They suggested an Audi A6 but that would cost me more. I am particularly annoyed as I had another booking with you 5693981 for £250 less which I cancelled in favour of the Land Rover. I hire cars multiple time a year and appreciate that sometime alternatives need to be issued however without fail this has always been a car of similar or better quality and size at the existing cost rather than inferior cars of poorer quality. We are a family of five with slot of luggage and driving slot this holiday however this has been severely impacted by the situation. Nolkegiare yold me they could go anything else unless I paid more and sss as if that the broker was at fault. I need some help please as I have dnded up with a terrible car for a premium price point and was left without option given I was outside the airport in the heat with 3 young children. Please can you advise as to what can be done. I am not on a position to return to Linate so that wouldnt work for me however I believe given the situation I should be entitled to some sort of compensation comesurate with what I should have paid for the car I ended up with.

" Auto Europe was ok, but the whole experience was marred by Drivalia "
" I will not use Drivalia again. At pick up there was only one assistant working and it took about 45 minutes to start the check in process. It was then very difficult to find the office location in the garage at Linate (up to Level 5, walk through the garage, look for an Avis office, go through an adjacent door, down the stairs to Level 4) and when we did eventually get there we were met by a very indifferent staff member who gave us our keys and we were pretty much left to find our car amongst hundreds (it was not parked in a numbered bay but outside on a terrace). The car make was DR. Never heard of it, and it was a pretty sluggish ride and difficult to overtake on the motorway. But the worst experience was on returning the car in Bologna. There were no staff in the garage to check the car back in. Also Drivalia don't have an office in the garage like most of the other car companies. We asked nearby reps from Sixt and Sicily by Car where they were and everyone just said we had to wait for them to return. One suggested we just go back to the terminal office. After 10 minutes with no show, we just locked the car up and went into the terminal as we had to check in bags for our flight. The staff member at the desk said to me "You have to go back to the garage". No apologies, just a barked instruction. I said "No way, I've got a plane to catch. If you can't organise to have a staff member there, that's your problem not mine". A full on argument followed. I was told that I should take pity on the guys as they had 50 cars to wash (apparently) and I should show more humanity. He snatched the keys off me, and he refused to give me a receipt for the car's return. That was my experience. Not to be repeated. "

The level of unprofessionalism and blatant disregard for customer service displayed by this company is inexcusable. This experience was not only infuriating but also caused significant inconvenience and additional expense. I demand an immediate refund has I have been scammed avoid at all costs "

" Address on paperwork was not the correct pick up desk at Milan Station. It had moved to inside station. After trawling round wuth heaven luggage we asked another car hire company who advised us where to go. Petrol tank was half full on pick up. Unfortunately, I didn't check until we were on our journey. Our drop off was Milan airport so I went to the Locauto desk there and showed them a photo of petrol gauge. They said they would put it on file for when I returned vehicle. I asked should I return car full abs was advised yes. Upon drop off the attendant didn't know anything about it abd said I would have to go inside to the desk. I ade a particular journey earlier in my rental to avoid wasting time before my flight. I didn't have time to sort it out so ended up paying extra to fill tank. "

While being inspected the member of staff then highlighted a mark on the wing mirror that I'd not noticed before and would not have been visible when I originally collected it in the dark.

" Awful. No one collected us from the airport at the scheduled time. The phone number wouldn't connect from either of our UK mobiles. It did work from an Italian's phone who kindly called on our behalf and they collected us after an hours wait. The car had damage all around. Lots wasn't marked on the sheet so had to be added. We couldn't spot every minor scuff in the dark. Luckily we took a video of the car on collection despite it being dark. When we returned the car they wouldn't take us to the airport until they fully inspected it. They tried to charge us for various bits of pre-existing damage which they claimed was new. When we disputed it they said we had to prove it was there. Fortunately despite the poor quality of the video at night all the pre existing damage was just about visible and they reluctantly agreed. It was a complete scam attempt. I have not experienced his in 18 years of hiring cars in Italy through you. In addition as soon as we left after collecting the car the fuel gauge dropped so was not full. Warning lights also came on relatively quickly to say ad blue had run out with less than half a tank of fuel used. "

" Noleggiare rang Auto Europe during our altercation in their offices because they were claiming that the issue was not their fault but rather it was Auto Europe's and therefore they wanted us to speak with Auto Europe to hear their justification and explanation. The woman we spoke to at Auto Europe (she spoke both Italian and English quite well) made some very outlandish claims in defense of Auto Europe, stating that whatever was printed on our Auto Europe rental voucher didn't really matter because surely when we were on the website reserving the vehicle we'll probably have seen some information indicating that the car could only seat 5 people and carry 2 suitcases, and somehow this "probability" trumped whatever was printed on our rental voucher. She also claimed that the Land Rover Discovery vehicle has only 5 seats, which is abjectly incorrect as they have only been made with 7 seats for at least the last 20 years (as can be verified easily via an internet search); however, it seems Auto Europe and Noleggiare both chose to not accept this reality. In any event, in our eyes Auto Europe has lost all credibility and I can't imagine that we will ever rent another vehicle through yourselves or any affiliated companies. "
" We pre-paid for a vehicle described on the rental voucher as a "Land Rover Discovery" and "Full Sized SUV". I would point out that Land Rover Discovery's are 7 seat vehicles. Upon arriving at Noleggiare we were informed that we were actually not entitled to a car that even remotely fit that description other than that it should be able to seat up to 5 people and carry 2 suitcases. There were 4 of us, including my wife's 85 year old mother, and we each had 1 large suitcase and 1 small suitcase for our planned 1 week stay in Italy. Any full sized SUV could have accommodated us, but not the cars Noleggiare was proposing. To their dubious credit, they did provide us with an Audi estate car which just about fit the 4 large suitcases in the boot, but the passengers had to carry the smaller suitcases on their laps for the 2.5 hour trip to our destination and then back again for drop off at the end of the holiday. We were told by Noleggiare that if we wanted a full sized SUV comparable car we would have to pay an additional Euro 600+ on top of what we had already pre-paid for our rental. We spent nearly 2 hours having a nightmare experience in Noleggiare's offices before we finally gave up accepted that we weren't going to get the type of car that we had reserved. "

The vehicle whilst suitable for the luggage had 76,000kms on it and the brakes were in need of a service. Not ideal when driving in the alps "

" I'd like to let you know about my experience with this car booking. My overall experience was appalling. It started very badly, when I found out that the car rental company was not in the terminal, as I'd searched for, and as is shown on your website, but was instead a shuttle ride away from the terminal. I had in fact gone for a more expensive quote due to the fact that I did not want to get a shuttle service to a car rental company, and wanted it to be in the airport. Following this, I arrived in Milan Malpensa airport, later than planned due to a delay on the flight. When I tried to then find the rental company, it was not possible, and so we spent a long time walking around the airport looking for the exit noted on the reservation below. Having failed to find the rental company, or any mention of them, we then tried to call the company using the numbers listed on our voucher. These numbers did not work, having tried several different options. I then proceeded to call your out of hours line, where I spoke to Kelly, who was lovely, and very helpful. She told me that there was a typo on the voucher, and we should be going to exit 6. I was asked to proceed directly to this exit, and to wait for a shuttle to the car hire company. By this point, it was 22:40, and the company hours were listed as only open until 23:00, and the out of hours care was only open until 22:00 UK time. While we waited and waited outside the airport for a shuttle, I proceeded to try and call again, to confirm that the company would be there. After being on hold until after 23:00, I had to make a decision as to what to do next. I then proceeded to the car rental firms inside the airport terminal, and rented a different car from them, to ensure that I could reach my onward destination with my family. This was at a great personal cost to me. I hope you can understand how stressful, and how badly this set us up on our trip, and how my 4 and 5 year old children were affected. By the time we got the car (from the other rental company), this meant that we were over 90 minutes later than planned, and didn't arrive at our destination until at 00:30 the following morning. "

Suggest locauto explain this to the renter before they leave. "

" At this point i different on Auto Europe as were no help in resolving the issue. I will see how you handle my complaint but i would drop Centauro from my list "
" We arrived in the morning and had booked the car for 4pm. We duly arrived back at the airport after sightseeing. We waited nearly two hours at designated point and were not picked up and nor did a Centauro van past. We rang 12 times including 2 to Auto Europe and Centauro never picked up. Another couple were having the same issue, so 22 call in all. We ended up taking a taxi to Centauro which cost €45 as the taxi driver realised we were stuck. The staff were next to useless arguing all the time and saying they had gone to meet the flight. They had not looked at the booking sheet and claiming they had been driving around. In the end had a very unplanned late night drive into the mountains. Not my idea of ideal. I will be filing a formal complaint "

" Just to say that when I collected the vehicle we had a wait of over and hour and half. I don't think this was the lady's fault who was working as she was working solo and consequently it was all taking a long time. There were several groups and I was just glad I wasn't going to a flight. It did worry me that it might be the same when I returned the vehicle, but thankfully not, it was much quicker. "

" I would appreciate talking to someone as my experience was very bad. Our flight was delayed and when we finally got there we were rudely told that our car (that we had pre-paid for) had been given to someone else and I would have to pay for an upgrade to a bigger car. At this point I was given a choice of either pay or leave, so had to pay or be stranded 10k from the airport with no car. The trip was a treat for my wife who has severe mental issues and our friend whose brother has just died from a brain tumor and it was marred by this experience. I have been trying to contact you by phone since tuesday to discuss this but you seem to be always closed. Can someone please call me on 07780955900 to discuss this. Thanks, Richard Baker. "

" The pickup filter "airport" va "shuttle" for Autovia/Ecovia was wrong and it cost us over one hour extra. Contact phone numbers didnt work. Get your site sorted! "
" The rental is 7km away from the airport. The Autoeurope filter of pick up location "airport" was set incorrectly! The number on the booking form didn't work, so we couldn't call to find the shuttle. We paid €30 for a taxi to get there. We heard later others waited over an hour and it's hard to find with no signage at the airport. At the counter there was 1 person at pickup and 2 people at drop off. Either time the waiting time took a very long time. We were then sent to the wrong location to pick up the car and had to keep coming back. The car had more marks than on the papers indicated but nobody car handover/return. Take photos of everything! The car itself was fine and cheap but it comes at a cost of a lot of inconvenience.

" pickup station is quite far away from where it is supposed to be (it was Milan Central Station) - unlike pretty much all other rental company offices... without clear directions had to look for it for quite a while and then walk for perhaps 10-15 minutes from the station to get to the office. Also, the car that I have got, although quite new, was substantially worse than what i was thinking I have booked - very basic car with little luggage capacity and barely any functionality, poor exterior lights... And that was communicated to me as being an upgrade - imagine how worse it would have been if i was given what was supposed to be provided without the upgrade? (i was told it should be DR car - a brand I have never before heard/seen!). "

" We flew into one terminal, no-one at Dollar desk , person on Hertz desk says car at other terminal, bus every 20 minutes. Offered us a special deal of an upgrade, for approx €230 which I reluctantly took rather than journey to other terminal, but the car , a DR, was very disappointing, hopelessly under-powered and certainly did not feel like an upgrade. Because it ran GPL, she said cost only 15c per litre, so we would save on fuel, however actual cost around 80c per litre, and not as efficient as petrol, only around 25 MPG, so no saving at all. "

There was supposly no damage to the car apart from a couple of bits marked on the paperwork. However I found damage to the front wheel which I photographed before leaving. I then drove to a hotel parked in their empty underground car park and left again 3 days later to go back to the airport. The car was left unattended as it was 3.00 am and I left the keys in the drop box. When I got back to the office Hertz had sent a list of new damages to the car including the wheel I photographed before I left the airport. Some of the scratches were so excessive I would have had to drive through a hedge to get them. They have taken £326 off my card and what looks like a second payment pending which I am checking on.

" Due to the inflexibility of the Sicily by Car staff, we lost over £500 on our rental as they were unprepared to accept a credit card that my husband used to pay for my rental. I provided a passport and marriage certificate as proof that I could use his credit card. The staff refused to accept this as they wanted him to be present. He was in the UK. They were suspicious that I was using his card without his permission. They would not accept a debit card - I had sufficient funds in this car. I left with no car and when my husband tried to contact the company , they were not willing to let him pick up the car on a different day as he would be arrived 2 days after me. We lost £500 and had no car. Very poor service. Will definitely never use this company again. There are far better companies out there. "

" AE interface was fine but Noleggiare were unwilling to deliver against AE voucher. "
" Noleggiare tried to extract extra local charges beyond those stipulated in the Auto Europe contract. AE contract stipulated €4 per day for extra driver plus €12 per rental for entering France. Rental period was 8 days.. Noleggiare tried to charge me €64 for extra driver plus a daily rate for driving in France., totalling over €100. We spent over an hour in the office arguing over the AE contract versus their 'made up' charges. Having won that battle we were then presented with a car which had a broken wiper and had to wait for a car swap. A poor customer experience; suggest you don't contract with them in future. "

" Excellent value.I had a choice of 3 vehicles, I choose the biggest one, because I wanted to put a large ski bag in it.However it was quite worn out, struggled to cope with hills . Upon return, the car inspector questioned feul level, which was slightly off max. This bothered me because I have used your company several times before and always fill up at the same services before returning the car. This has never been a problem before. As Iam sure you are aware, refuelling near Malpensa Airport is very difficult. To be fair, the inspector let it go after I explained. As a suggestion maybe fuel station map would help. "

" The queue system for attention is pretty useless unless you have roaming data. You have to scan a QR code for a number. I waited in line and explained this... was then given a number which meant I went to the back of the queue! I was also told off because I was early (approx 20mins). Seriously? They tried to put us in a much smaller car - Lancia. We ordered a Peugeot 208. Had to sign for the vehicle and damage report without seeing the car. They had a 208 in the garage which the staff down there did organised for us. Well done. However, the car was quite dirty and had way more scratches/damage than listed. The tank was not full - just under 4 litres short (checked at station just up the road). The oil was low so I purchased a litre to top up to the correct mark. The service light was on from the moment it was picked up (21420km). And.. the car had previously been in an accident which was not repaired properly - driving in a straight line, the steering wheel was turned to the left. Panel gaps were out of line on the offside (drivers side) and the rear door was catching on the front door every time it was opened. In total I took approx 30 photos of various items in cladding damages and dipstick level. "

It was good that there are many Noleggiare offices across the country to provide this service. However, it was evident that this problem existed before we hired the car, so there is a question of the good maintenance of vehicles from the company. "

" During the pickup of the car the employee was bullying trying to upsell a more expensive car and insurances. This is not a problem but it was done in a threatening manner of you will be accountable for everything and it will cost thousands of euro's if you don't upgrade. On returning the car again the bullying and aggressive nature continued with threats of deposits being taken and extra charges. None of which were founded or acted upon. They also tried to delay our exit from the car garage by demanding with menace my driving licence I refused and in the end walked away from the situation.

" Our experience with AVIS at Stazione Centrale Milano hasn't been satisfactory, especially considering the high price we were charged. In the week before the rental, we were reminded several times by email and on the phone to check-in online to speed up the process of picking up the car. We did so, answering online all the questions about whether we wished to purchase additional services or coverage. On arrival at Milano Centrale we went to the AVIS office just at the entrance of the station, and they told us that we didn't need to do anything there, since the online check-in, and that we only needed to go and pick-up the car. The pick-up point is a bit far, but worse, the entrance is not suitable for pedestrians in general, never mind whether you are carrying big suitcases! On the other hand, other car rental companies like Hertz are located on the upper floor of the same building with easy access by lift. At the pick-up point desk, they forced me to be on the phone with the desk lady at the office where we had just been told we didn't need to do anything because I checked in online already. Firstly, she tried to give us a 3-door car when we booked a 5-door car. She then tried to over-sell us a bigger car for an extra daily charge, and then she tried to sell us the insurances that I already declined when I did the check in online. What a waste of time in 35-degree heat! Finally, the car wasn't in great condition: the windscreen had a big chip on the main wind screen. We feared it might crack completely. It didn't happen, luckily, but it was such a nuisance for visibility anyway! The entertainment system was also a pain, we weren't allowed to connect our own devices by Bluetooth because too many have been already connected by previous customers, so it was locked to new devices. Therefore, we couldn't listen to our own music for the entirety of our holiday, only to the radio. From AVIS in Milan, you would expect a better value for money. Next time we will be happy to pay a little extra and go with Hertz. "

" Definitely will not choose Goldcar again and have told all my friends and family about it as well, very overpriced and a rip off with their insurance scheme "
" The car was dirty, had a lot of scratches all over and dented front wheel. The inside had stains and the car horn wasn't working at all which is dangerous especially driving in a foreign country! Was told to pay extra £227 for the insurance so that I don't need to worry about all the existing scratches or damages already on the car which I found completely unsettling and a rip off but they knew they had you over a barrel because it's not likely I can easily find a replacement car because that was all they had as well. There was also another customer in front of me who had complained about the dirtyness of their baby's car seat as well and all they gave me was this flimsy cloth to put over my baby''s car seat which was also dangerous as the cloth fell over his face whilst driving but luckily I had a family member who could take it off. Definately would not recommend Goldcar to anyone, stay clear or them and choose a different car rental company as in all my car hire experience this was the worse of the worse! "

" Very poor understanding of international driving licence requirements that took many discussions with your team to get clarity on. "
" Check in experience was haphazard. Particularly there were insufficient instructions about where to collect the car from which meant that it was difficult to find and involved a long walk with luggage. When we eventually found the location that car was not in the parking place we were told it would be but in another separated parking bay some distance away. During the hire period we called the number provided to get clear instructions on drop off location but there was no answer - we tried 4 times without success. The drop off location is not clearly marked on the street and hard to find too. "

" I have hired cars in italy for the past 20 years , never had a car so bad before. I was expecting a modern Lancia ore similar, I got an older car with no auto locking, no sensors lots of dints and scratches and a dodgey gearbox. Dont think it was value for money at all. I paid Auto europe for my planned excursion to switzerland. but was charged again by Hertz for this. in fact we never actually crossed the border this 13 euro charge should be crdited back to my card.

" I was surprised to learn that the price quoted can be affected by when I try to book, not just when I want to hire. The difference is dramatic which seems bizarre. "
" Leasys cars tend to have multiple scratches, not all of which are documented. I was irritated that upon return the person checking the car seemed determined to find a new scratch/dent that was our fault. Fortunately I rent a lot and I had taken c40 photos of every imaginable angle of the car before I left the garage. This didn't happen with Leasys previously so it may be an individual fault rather than a company policy. Given that I have experienced this with other major brands, Leasys still represent good value at a time when prices have gone through the roof. "

" It is your problem if the service provider your search engine points me to ends up charging me double what they list the rental for, because your system does not warn of such "problems" in advance. For instance, I was not aware of the opening and closing times not matching my flight requirements when I booked (and yet I provided my flight info...)! I would like to know from you if there is a way I can be reimbursed / compensated by Centauro (obviously the culprit here) or an ombudsman, while you should be made aware of the bad service that not having a clear cut off by opening time of your listings does then create to your customer - who, next time, will not be your customer any longer! "
" They charged 40 euro extra because the plane arrived late, and "officially" their office would have been closed, but, as I arrived, another customer arrived as well, and they had nothing to pay extra. I think because they booked direct. Then, I found out that on Sunday 20th, the day of my flight back, their office would not have been open in time for me to catch the flight (official opening 7AM), so, they forced me to return the car on the Saturday evening and to spend a night at a rather squalid private room near the airport. When I dropped the car, they did not take me to the place where I was to sleep (again, within the confines of the airport area) but left me at about 200 m from my door, and did not offer any sort of an excuse or compensation. Those two extra expenses almost doubled my rental cost. i complained with the airport authority but they said that as Centauro operates outside their terminal it is not their problem. That is a meagre excuse, as Centauro appears under "Malpensa" if you search for them on their site, on yours or on any other internet search. However, it is your problem if the service provider your search engine points me to ends up charging me double what they list the rental for, because your system does not warn of such "problems" in advance.

" Auto Europe provided a good sevice. The rental company itself however need to look up the graphics for a full fuel tank on my pareicular model as being told it is not full when there is literally no room to add petrol is not very satisfactory. "
" Having fully filled up the car at a nearby petrol station before returning the vehicle. I was surprised that the operative told me the car was not full and they would do their own check, the LCD interior display idicated full, they however seemed to think otherwise. I was told that if it was more than 4 litres below empty then they would fill and I would be charged for the difference. I feel they may have indicated this regardless of what was ascertained as I would no longer be there to argue otherwise and it would 'justify' their initial stance. Fortunately, I was not in a rush as my flight was not until the next day. I took the car keys back and went to Stazione IP Malpensa station T1 - T2 to try and put more fuel in (atomatic machine) I put 5 Euros into the machine and within 2 Euros the tank was overflowing. I took a picture of it. I returned to the Airport drop off, the same lady asked to to see a receipt, I didn't have one (I should have asked the machine for one with hindsight, but I didn't expect to have my word doubted). Opening the petrol tank latch would have made visible how full it was. Finally, it was reluctantly accepted as full. It's fortunate I speak Italian, It's fortunate I didn't have a flight I was rushing to get. Otherwise who knows what costs I would have seen on the credit card once home. "

" I've used Auto Europe and Sicily by Car many times via Malpensa Airport. This was by some distance the worst and most futile rental which could and should have been easy to remedy, particularly during Covid times. "
" Due to a rescheduling by Easyjet, I had to extend the rental period by a further day. (AE Voucher ref 5164273). Neither Auto Europe or Sicily by Car could consolidate the two rentals, therefore at additional cost and loss of half a day, I had to return to the airport the following day to return/collect for this rental. Guess what, I was given the very same car to drive away; unsanitised & with minimal checks. What a waste of time and a very poor experience. "

" Common sense should prevail in a pandemic, not asking customers to needlessly return cars, when simple admiration could resolve two consecutive rentals. "
" Very disappointed with both Auto Europe and Sicily by Car. Our 15 day hire needed extending by 1 day due to Easyjet rescheduling. I therefore tried to modify the car rental by extending to 16 days without success. Therefore a hire of £16/day, became £44 for the one day extra. Despite requesting Auto Europe to modify, they could not, instead suggesting I negotiate with Sicily by Car. Sicily by Car stated I need to take the car for 1 day then return it to the airport for a 2nd car. Imagine then my displeasure having wasted half a day returning the car, only to then be given the exact same car for the second rental. This though meant the car was not sanitised. Quite easily the worst rental using Auto Europe and Sicily by Car I've experienced, this after many such rentals via Mila Malpensa. "

I had no choice to put 6 large luggages and 3 adults into that mini car with some of the luggages set out on our laps. Whats horrible is I was not offered a replacement in any following days so I had to put up with this for the next 3 weeks. And then I started to see the 54 bux administration fees from them for apparently giving our info to the local citation dept. Complete rip off. The only good thing is the mini car had airplay and at times I did appreciate the small cars in narrow gully of amalfi, but had to put up with the adults sitting in the car constantly yelling at me for having large luggage on their lap for the next 1500 miles.

" Overall good booking and rental experience, just a little frustrating the unusual procedures of this car rental. "
" PROS: Very good value for money. Excellent pick-up location, just outside central train station. Overall fast and simple pick-up process. Good vehicle for the class selected. CONS: Drop-off location is not well indicated. Staff not very helpful to advise about extras and restricted traffic zones around the area. High extra cost for winter tires. During drop-off the staff took the damage papers and didn't return any signed copies of contract, also at the office the staff did not provide any sign-off for the returned vehicle. "

" Ordered an estate car to take our luggage but was offered 2 small SUV's instead. Advisors tried to cram our luggage in, damaging one bag, only stopping when I informed him that he was about to break my laptop! After an hour, we were offered an Audi estate car (which I accept was of higher quality than originally booked) which was big enough. We were now late and missed a ski lesson that was booked for that afternoon and family afternoon ski passes. Dropped off car late due to traffic at Mont-Blanc tunnel and was told I would have to pay a fine of 93 euros which I refused. My drop of time should have been later as my collection time was later due to the issues with the car, and a 93 euro charge was excessive as I was only I was really 1.5 hour late. I was willing to pay for the extra hour, but 93 euros represents 2 days car rental! "

" The process to pick up the car was not great. Once arrived to collect the car, we were told that the internal system was not working, hence we were invited to "take a coffee" (at our on expenses). After 20 minutes, waiting with no progress, we left our names to be later called. Only after an hour and 10 minutes we were able to collect the car. The personnel was polite, but what appeared clear was that they did not have a plan "B" (manual process) or they rather preferred to wait until their internal system was fixed than moving to the manaul process. As a result, while the car rented was good and in good conditions, the overall experience was not great. "

" I have used Autoeurope at least 30 or 40 times in the last few years with never any problems. But the dismissive way they treated my previous complaint made me very unhappy. "
" I have rented cars from Avis via Autoeurope twice in the last 4 months and both times I was very dissatisfied. The attitude of the counter clerk was unhelpful; I had already paid Autoeurope for snow chains but the clerk wanted to charge me for the chains and eventually agreed to supply them. Stupidly I didn't check if chains were in the car boot, which I did on the second day - and of course there were no chains. I had to take a detour and go to Avis at Venice airport, the nearest Avis to where I was, and again the clerk rather rudely told me to buy snow chains and charge Autoeurope for them!!! Eventually another employee from the Car Return department gave me a set of chains without arguing. The previous rental I was charged EURO 658 for extra insurance which I had refused as I had FULL insurance through Autoeurope as well as through American Express Platinum Credit Card. Never again will I rent through Avis. And I will publicise these episodes as widely as possible. "

The girl there was completely unhelpful and sent me to the guys on the other side (still same company). When I went to them they were again very unhelpful and seemed annoyed that I asked them to move the cars so I could have mine and actually made me feel stupid because in their opinion there was enough space for me to turn (there wasn't, the parking is already tight as it is without them parking in the middle of the road) "

" I asked for some help or advice on this matter, but got none. YOU SHOULD HAVE ZERO ASSOCIATION WITH LOCAUTO. "
" NASTY, FRAUDULENT, EXTORTIONISTS. The worst company I have ever dealt with. They are operating a scam where they trick you into leaving the car at return saying they will have any minor cosmetic damage assessed 'professionally' and you are 'free to go'. Their scam is to first establish what your maximum damage excess is. Then they get their complicit 'assessor' to make sure it is 'assessed' grossly over this excess so that they can extort the maximum out of you. They then add an extra €100 on top as a 'fee'. There is zero communication but 28 days later (and with the car having done a huge amount of extra kilometres), they demand unbelievable exorbitant payment for minor cosmetic damage costs that are completely unjustified. They give you only a few days notice to pay and start to threaten you. If you try to respond with reason and try to have a dialogue, they then simply ignore what you say and continue harassing you. They ignore everything (including photographs and other evidence). They just do what they want and use intimidating tactics against you. It is impossible to contact them if they decide to ignore you. No phone number! No email address! You can only use their online internal system in which they suddenly ignore you and do not respond to your communication, even after multiple requests for a response. It is now almost 3 months since the car was returned and still there is no conclusion. It is quite unbelievable that this company is even allowed to exist, but clearly in Italy it can and does. "

" I use AutoEurope regularly and have always been very satisfied. I will think twice about the circumstances before doing so again. Budget made clear that part of their problem in terms of their complete inflexibility was that the booking was through an intermediary. From now on I will be price checking direct with everyone bar Avis-Budget at Malpensa before making a buying decision. I assume AutoEurope puts €millions of business through Budget. On that basis I would humbly suggest you take steps to stop them turning over your customers and holding them to ransom - otherwise I doubt your business will be around for much longer. "
" Unfortunately my easyJet flight was running late on Friday and arrived at 0050. Notwithstanding that my flight details were included on the booking, I arrived at Budget to find the office closed. Note that only the Avis-Budget office was closed - every other car hire company at Malpensa was still open and dealing with a multitude of delayed flights. Clearly, unlike Budget, they care about their customers. All attempts to phone were fruitless. I had no option other than to take a taxi to a nearby hotel and spend the night. The next morning I arrived at Budget to be told that my booking had been cancelled and if I wanted a car I needed to pay them c.€350 (over 13x the cost of my lost booking). This was notwithstanding the same car I booked being advertised by AutoEurope for €34 at that exact time. They advised they wouldn't receive an online booking for 3 hours so not to bother trying... They also claimed they had been open until after 1am the previous night - a complete lie which can be substantiated not only by me but the other poor souls they left stranded (you can read their complaints on Twitter). I had a wedding to get to so couldn't hang around for 3 hours. Fortunately I speak Italian so was not about to be held to ransom - I managed to procure a replacement car from Sixt for €135 - so only 4x the lost booking. I consider this nothing short of outrageous. I well understand the terms of the contract, but this does not excuse the failure by Budget to keep the office open in a busy international airport with multiple flights running late (particularly when they know their customers are on these flights); the outrageous attempt to ransom me for an utterly ridiculous sum the next day; the lies (and I make no apology for using that word) told to me by the staff at the Budget office; and the total contempt and lack of empathy shown. I will NEVER use they cowboys again. "

There is a ticket system and it seemed that for every five or six Hertz booking there was one Thrify customer seen. The desk staff seemed pretty relaxed with no need to speed things along, chatting and faffing in between seeing customers. We couldn't really understand the need for such a long wait as when we finally got to our turn the process of getting our key took very little time really. We were given a print out that highlighted existing damage on our allocated car. On checking the vehicle we found numerous other scratches and marks that hadn't been noted. We returned to the Hertz desk to report this and ask for an amended damage slip only to be told that the person on the desk was "too busy" to view the car and that we should mark any damage on the existing slip with a pen and take photos. We didn't have any issues on returning the car but did worry during the trip that we would be held responsible for the damage that was on it before we were given the keys. Despite returning the car on the Monday evening the deposit hold wasn't lifted from my card until the Thursday and to date I have not received the email confirmation promised that the car was returned as expected and with no damage. Owing almost entirely to the excessive wait time on collection I would not recommend Thrify at Milan Malpensa to anyone. The car itself was fine and the return process was quick. "

" I wanted to change my pick up time and drop off time to only find out I had to cancel the whole booking and make a new one. But then on arrival to pick the car up, there was no organisation of where or when cars where going to be available. Terrible service, and the women behind the desk for hertz at the airport are incredibly rude "
" We didn't receive a car for 2.5 hours after our arranged pick up time. We were given the wrong car, when they had the car I asked for in the garage. A nice lady called Lara who worked in the garage kindly swapped our vehicle. (the only nice part of this experience) The car was in terrible shape from the previous customers, the oil light came on mid way through our trip and we spent 3 hours waiting for a tow truck, to then be told there was nothing they could do about it. After numerous phone calls, we got the car back to the airport. Awful experience and will never book with auto Europe or hertz again without a significant refund. "

" Auto Europe however is a site we will use again. The insurance protection is good value and the booking process is easy. The only observation we have is that our dissatisfaction with the car spec and cleanliness and the premium paid for a car we did not receive seems that it will go unanswered now due to the intermediate nature of Auto Europe between us and Europcar. We are also still awaiting the return of £300 deposit held against our debit card. "
" In the UK we always book with Europcar. The specific car class we reserved was subject to confirmation. It was a premium class auto coupe style. The booking was confirmed but what we received was a standard station wagon when we ordered was a shorter car in a premium class! Also the car was dirty inside and we don't think it has actually been cleaned before our hire. It utterly spoiled our driving holiday and was not what we booked or paid for. "

" I will be submitting a formal complaint seperately but it was the worst car hire experience i have ever experienced. The avis rental stand at Milan Central Station is pure chaos and we had to wait over 2 hours past our selected collection time before i finally kicked up enough of a fuss to get taken to the "preffured" customer desk to get served. Once there I was told the autoeurope warrenty i had paid for was not valid and i had to pay for the avis one or i couldnt take the car, that was an additional £100+, and also that i had to pay the taxes again and the one way fee again even though i had already paid with auto europe and could prove that, they said it didnt count. With a huge que behind us and a possible another wait of 2+ hours if I said no and tried to contact auto europe we had no choice but to agree and pay the additional fees. If you google the reviews of Avis Milan you will see they dont just do this to me, they do it to everyone. I dont know how a company like this can still be trading and Auto europe still work with them, its criminal. After we finally got the car 3 hours later than planned no one allowed us to check it over for scratches, no one to show us how the car worked or how to drive. 5 days later and the full charges with avis are still pending on our credit card, including 70 euros for petrol charge we we returned the car with a full tank.

They told us they weren't prepared to help. We then spoke with someone in the UK. They tried to find the problem but were unable to determine if the issue was Auto Europes or Europcars. Again, no one took responsibility and as we had booked through Auto Europe, I would have expected you to come up with a solution.

" I drove the car from the airport to my destination about 250 km on motorways. When I switched off the car a dialog box was saying low pressure on tyres When I took the car to drive to the airport one wheel was flat. I had left extra time to stop at the garage to check the tyres and then drive back to Malpensa airport. It was 1.30 and my flight I called the assistance and at the same time noticed that there was no spare tyre but just a compressor but the foam was coming out from the wheel and did not work. I called the Europcar green number for assistance and was sent a recovery car at 3pm who did not leave till past 3.30. In the mean time I was asking for a replacement car and was told that there was ony one in Guarene the opposite direction of Milan and 70 km away. I had no choice but take a taxi in order not to miss my flight and my daughter's back to London. At the airport I went to Eurostar where I was told to email my taxi receipt, which I did. I have not received an acknowledgement of my email. When tryimg to call Malpensa Eurostar there is no answer and after 20 mn wait the line drops. What do you advice me to do.?I am a faithful europcar customer and I dont use anything else as I trust you. "

" The Auto-Europe experience was fine. However the Sixt service was shocking. "
" To whom it may concern, I am writing this email from my holiday destination in Les Arcs, in the French Alps. We picked up our hire car from Milan Airport on Wednesday 7th August, at approximately 8pm. The car was well presented and only had around 5,000 miles on the clock, so we set off to towards Les Arcs. Our group consisted of myself and my wife, plus our 14 and 11 year old children. Our route took us over the high mountain pass between La Thuile (Italy) and La Rosiere (France), via the Cole de Petit Saint Bernard. We crossed this pass at around 12:30pm and descended safetly and steadily towards La Rosiere and on to Les Arcs. We were expecting to be safely in resort by 1:30am. On descending past La Rosiere, the front right tyre had a sudden blow-out and the pressure emptied itself within 10 seconds. I carefully parked the car in a suitable lay-by, off the road. At this point I was prepared for the standard, well practiced task of changing the damaged wheel for the spaer tyre. I anticipated adding about 20 mins to our journey, as I removed all the baggage from the boot of the car and carefully extracted the spare wheel from the rear. It was then that myself and my wife discovered that (a) the jack was missing the handle to raise itself and (b) there was no wrench to remove the wheel nuts. We simply could not believe this and proceeded to empty the car completely and even explored behind some of the car panelling to make sure we had not missed anything. But still no joy. The time was now approaching 1:30am and we realised that being on a dark, remote mountain road, the chances of getting help were extremely difficult. The children were really tired and everyone was looking forward to getting to bed in our destination. Realising that we were in a helpful suitation and there was no way we were going to be able to now switch tyres, we proceeded to try to ring the Italian Sixt emergency breakdown cover. After being on hold for 15 mins, this was going nowhere. Not what I would have expected at 1:30am, when any emergency was obviously going to be serious. Wth no luck getting through to the Italian breakdown service, we then tried the UK office, were we had more lukc getting through. They passed us onto a breakdown service, but for some reason they could not match our rental contract to their records and said they could send out a mechanic to help, but we would need to pay 400 Euros upfront for this service - which was beyond incredible! In the meantime we were resorting to flagging down passing cars and lorries to try to help us. Four vehicles did kindly stop, but unfortunately none of them had the right tools to help us. The time was now about 5:30am and we had been stuck on the mountain for about 4 hours. My wife then eventually got through to the Italian breakdown service and after repeated calls finally managed to get them to agree to send out a local French mechanic. He eventually turned up at around 6:15am and very efficiently jacked up our car, released the wheel nuts and replaced our wheel. We finally reached our destination 6:30 hours behind schedule at around 7:30am! This whole, incredibly stressful experience was the direct result of the hire car being incorrectly setup for use.To supply a rental car to. family on holiday, without the right tools to fix a simple flat tyre is beyond belief and is also very dangerous. A task that should have taken 20 minutes ended up taking 6:30 hours and completely ruined our fist day's holiday and mean we were incredibly stressed and exhausted. To top things off, I have had to give up another day of my holiday looking for a garage to replace the tyre (at a cost of 120 Euros), when it was the tyre side-wall that had perished and blew-out, rather than a classic piercing puncture. I had to drive to the garage, with the knowledge that the car stil does not have a wrench or a working jack - so I cannot imagine the situation if I was to have another puncture! I cannot believe that this situation arose and I would very much like to hear your thoughts on this, plus I would expect to be compensated appropriately for all costs incured, plus for the loss of holiday and inconvenience caused when stuck on the roadside.

" Poor pick up service from the airporest due mainly to lack of any signage or details of which gate to go to, unable to get through to the office. The car was fine except when I pointed out the numerous small marks on the car at pick up (expected due to age) I was told not to worry about these as they were minor. Low and behold when dropping off the car I was told that I had caused two of these marks and would have to pay €340, they actually took £380 from the deposit! I tried to argue this and refused to sign the damage report and was told that would mean I was still renting the car and would lose all £850 deposit, eventually signed but stated on the damage report that the damage was there on pick up. I get the feeling that these minor marks have been charged to many customers before me and that B rent make a small fortune by conning customers this way. "

" When I arrived in Milan my voucher told me to go from terminal 2 to T1 for the car. I was late landing and by the time I got to the terminal on the bus and found Maggiore, I was told that they didn't have a car for me. they offered me a small one that wouldn't have got my family or luggage in or a larger car that I would have to pay extra, which I refused to pay. I was told to sit down and wait. When I asked for how long they said maybe an hour!! Eventually I spoke to someone in Auto Europe which was dialled by Maggiore, who told the Maggiore staff that needed to sort it out. I eventually got a Fiat Tipo estate which was far too big for us, but at least I had a car. Not once did I see the model of the car that I requested, so I presumed that they never had any. It was the worst ever experience that I have ever had hiring a car in a foreign country. Other clients were in the office with similar issues, so it appeared to be the norm. In future I will direct to the provider such as Avis, Budget, Enterprise etc rather than use a broker. I must also say that the lady I dealt with in the office was very helpful in the end and got me a car and arranged for the return to be to Terminal 2 rather than 1. "

" We hired two cars on the same day. When we picked up the cars counter stafff were very aggressive in trying to sell additional insurance which we thought we had already paid for costing €500. I was charged €39.63 for roadside assistance this was included free in the other rental. At handover no explanation of the controls. I was not even told car was automatic or type of fuel.

" On first impressions Sixt were excellent. They upgraded us for only 5 euro a day to have a car with GPS and additional driver. We were presented with a brand new Volkswagen Golf and were very happy. However the GPS didn't work and we didn't realise this until we got to our destination as we didn't need it right away. So phoned Sixt and were advised to come back to the airport where they would replace the car for one with a working GPS. So we drove back to the airport (about 1hr 30mins) and were presented with a very different situation. The counter personnel wasn't interested, and just said we could take a standalone GPS as there was no other car available. However we upgraded the car to have this integrated and drove 1hr 30mins out of our way whilst on holiday to resolve this as we planned to do a lot of driving requiring GPS. He eventually waived the upgrade fee which was satisfactory but meant that the second driver wasn't included on the car. However we found out that the second driver was never put onto the contract as she was 24 and that would mean a young driver surcharge would apply. We were specifically advised in the first instance that the young driver surcharge did not apply and she would be added on with the upgrade fee. Had we not gone back she would have driven hundreds if not thousands of miles uninsured! Extremely disappointed with the advice received. We in the end, after a long discussion left with a car with no GPS and no additional driver but didn't pay the extra fee so not all lost asides from a big waste of time. The car was great, and the drop off was easy and quick - however I am still yet to receive my final invoice from Sixt. "

" I had a flat tyre so was running on the emergency tyre. We called the helpline and the agent looked for the nearest Auto Europe outlet which was Locarno in Switzerland. She told us that if we could get there by closing time, they would help us. We could not get through to Locarno on the telephone to forewarn them that we we coming, so I asked the Auto europe agent to call them ,but she could not get through either. When we got to Locarno, the agent told us they could not replace an Italian car without Head Office authorisation and that Head Office was closed. We went back to our accommodation at slow speed. In order to get a replacement car I had to get up at 6am the next morning and drive again slowly to Malpensa where the car was replaced efficiently. The agent who replaced the car and the one who received the car at Malpensa at the end of the hire were both very helpful and understanding. "
" When we got to Malpensa, we did not find the desk within the terminal, so went to the internal car park (which we now understand to be the drop off area). The Autoeurope Agent there sent us to the external car park where we found a van with more AutoEurope agents. The agent there said it wasn't him, but we should phone the number on our sheet, which we couldn't get through on. We went back to the terminal where we eventually found the AutoEurope desk where we should have been in the first place. I recommend your instructions say. "To pick up your car go to the AutoEurope Desk within the terminal X building on level Y. Do not go to the car park first." "

" I've been a loyal Auto Europe customer for many years, renting cars a few times every year. When I contacted Auto Europe and asked to help me to deal with the car hire company (since they were not willing to communicate with me), Auto Europe took the position of the car hire company and said the according to their terms and conditions (which were not shown to me at the time of hire), they were right to charge me. Every reasonable person would agree that the whole situation could have been avoided if the car hire company agent (who knew very well that we were going to a place where snow was expected), or Auto Europe, told us that we needed to add anti-freeze before driving to a place with snow. But this important detail was very well hidden from us, which cost us €1,112, and now a legal language is being used to avoid taking any responsibility instead of acknowledging that this was all a mistake of the car hire agent. I didn't expect Auto Europe to refund me any of the charges, but I did expect a company that "endeavours to provide all customers with exceptional customer service at every stage" to push on the car hire company when they simply abuse the customer. Well, if your abusive partners are more important to you than your customers, then I won't be using Auto Europe for car hire in the future. "
" I booked a car with the "winterisation option" in order to drive from Milan Malpensa airport to Cervinia for 4 days. We took the car, drove for 2 hours to Cervinia and parked it. The next time we tried to start the car, it didn't start. After calling Sicily by Car, a tow truck came and towed the car away. Not only we had to pay €350 for a taxi, but then Sicily by Car also charged my credit card €480 for the breakdown and towing service, when it wasn't our fault. Then the charged another €172 without providing any explanation. According to Sicily by Car, the car broke down because the diesel has frozen. They claim that according to their terms and conditions, they provide cars without anti-freeze. However, the Sicily by Car agent at the airport didn't say anything about this car not including anti-freeze, or about the need to add anti-freeze in cold weather, even though he knew that we were going to a place with cold weather and snow. It wasn't even extremely cold (around -5 degrees). To clarify - the diesel that has frozen was the one that supplied by Sicily by Car. We didn't even have a chance to fill it up (or add anti-freeze) as we only drove for 2 hours. This 2-hour drive cost us €1,112. To summarize, we booked a car that was suitable for winter. The car was provided to us with diesel not suitable to drive in winter to a location 2-hours drive away from the airport. We haven't been told about this by Sicily by Car, even though they knew where we were going. And now I'm paying for this. I tried to contact Sicily by Car, but their customer service team doesn't speak to customers over the phone. I sent a number of emails, but they just ignored them and didn't reply. "

My son (10) and daughter (6) witnessed a number of increasingly angry men remonstrating with both the employees and other people about the slow process. Having arrived just as ticket 4 was called to the desk I was slightly discouraged at my number 27. Having calmly waiting for over two hours and watched other people pushing in due to having young children I was extremely surprised by the level of customer support. On arriving at the desk to sort my car I made a huge effort to smile and be positive towards the member of staff. I received nothIn in return (possibly understandably). I don't actually remember an apology about the wait my family had had. During the process of getting my car I was offered a slightly larger vehicle. Th benefits of the car were described: one of which were the winter tyres. I had however already paid for the winter package so was unsure why I was being upsold........I suggested to the employee that maybe it was suitable that I was upgraded for free due to the wait my wife and children had endured. He didn't agree and then just continued with his sell. I accepted the offer so I could then share my experience with you. Once I had the key, I then went to pick up my slightly larger car. I could not see in the car park any signs of the car we had initially booked and suspect that the car I ended up paying extra money for was probably the car I would have had anyway. In the car there was some thing crystal based growing in the boot that they had to clean. Finally we then had to go Back to pick up the booster seat that had not been included in my payment and therefore after all this I had to pay another 46 euros for a small old booster seat?! I am really hoping that Sicily by car was having a bad day. I gave your employee several opportunities to show some understanding of customer care. Either he had no empathy towards the customer or is under instructions to up sell at all costs. At the point after 1.5 hours where they chose to let a family push in I thought another family were going to explode. Having travelled to Spain last year, we ended up in a similar queue. We were treated as a family with young children, rushed forward, apologised to, upgraded for free and given free booster seats. The experience with a Sicily by car could not have been any further from this experience "

" Auto Europe is good but the star rating for Sicily by Car was inaccurate. "
" Car was great, drop off great, but when we arrived at Milan Malpensa airport, there was an unbelievable queue at the Sicily by Car counter. I collected a ticket which showed i would be dealt with when the clock got to 67. It was on 26 at the time. 2 hours of waiting including 3 staff clocking off for the day when clearly there were many of us still waiting to be served. Hopeless. All the other car hire counters were fine, not overcrowded, more staff than customers. Clearly when cars are booked in advance and car hire firms know when their customers are arriving, there is no excuse for this incompetence. "

" Diesel cars rented in Milan have no additive for cold weather use. If the tank is full at the start, there really is no opportunity to add additive until a significant distance has been driven. Once in the Alps all gas stations sell super-diesel which does not require additive. However, filling with this diesel grade will give you an insignificant additive proportion unless the tank is near empty. The snow chains provided had improper instructions for mounting. We needed them, and it took a long time to figure out. "

" I like their site, because they offer a large range of cars. They kindly helped me solve the problem I had the first time I rented from Maggiore, calling many car rental companies and eventually finding me a car, from a different company, of the category I had booked. I warmly recommend it. Thanks "
" This is my second time I rented from Maggiore, through Autoeurope. The first time, when collecting the car, they said they didn't have the car I had booked (although they are contractually bound and should give you they car you book, or any car, at the agreed and prepaid price) and tried to make me upgrade, which means get a bigger car and pay more. I said No and then Autoeurope found me a car, from a different company, of the category I had booked. This time, in December, I was late to collect the car but I phoned them to inform them of my delay and they said there was no problem. When I arrived at the Linate airport, again they said they didn't have the car I had booked and tried to make me upgrade, which means get a bigger car and pay more. OK, this time I was late and I cannot say it was totally their fault, although I had called them and they told me it was OK. Anyway, I got the feeling that they were playing a game, that is, offer a cheap quote on Autoeurope's site and then force the customers to get a bigger car and pay more. I didn't want to play their game and get a bigger car so I waited about three hours and finally got my car. While I was there in their office, I heard that they were saying the same thing to other customers, that they didn't have the car the customers had booked and tried to make them upgrade (which they did), which means get a bigger car and pay more. I heard this clearly with two customers. This is very unfair to customers and to Autoeurope too. Finally, yesterday I was checking my credit card statement and found out that AVIS (that owns Maggiore) had charged me €438.06 (£395.21) which I didn't expect. I called their customer service (open only from Mon. to Fri., 9am to 1pm, by the way) and they said it was for the insurance I bought at the counter. I stated strongly that I had never requested such insurance and asked why did they add it? The employee said it was added "by mistake", apologized and said in 10 days (!) they will send me an email to rectify that. Had I not checked my credit card statement (which I always do but a lot of pepole don't) I would have paid all that extra money. I'm never going to rent from them again and I do not recommend it to anyone. "

There was a slight flight delay and we would have managed to get to the car hire desk on time had it not been for the inaccurate details describing its location both on the hire voucher and a second email. Both gave unclear instructions as to its location. When we arrived at the car rental desk we were abruptly told that we could no longer have our car as we were late. When we asked if they could help us sort the problem and re- book the cars we were promptly told " no" and we should get the train. We were left late at night in Milan airport with 4 children.

" Easyjet flight was delayed. Despite knowing what flight we were on and the fact that it was delayed, when we arrived at the Interrent desk they didn't have a car for us. We then had to make our way back to the airport and find a car to hire immediately. It cost us 10 times what we had paid Auto-Europe. You have taken my money and not provided the service. Needless to say I will not be using AutoEurope or Interrent ever again. "

" It would be useful if you could add in your information that the car hire offices in Malpensa Terminal 2 are now located in the rail station. On arrival despite being a busy Saturday morning there was only 1 person dealing with the customers and having 3 persons in front of me it took more than 20 minutes before I was given the car. The car I was given was badly scratched on the outside and very dirty inside, I spoke to the Budget representative at the car park that gave me another car, upgrading me to the next category. This car was also badly scratched and when I got inside was also very dirty but at that point having already lost a lot of time I decided to keep the car as it was. Looking at the number of cars in the car park they were not short of them so it was even more disappointing to be given such a dirty car. "

" Everything was smooth when picking up the vehicle. I decided to purchase the extra...something (maybe the higher level of insurance?)...but I'm still not quite sure what it was. I paid an extra £98 but I'm unsure whether this was a deposit or not. When I asked whether it was refundable at the end, she did say yes, but I've dropped the car off with no extra charges and don't really know what the process is for getting this "deposit" back. Anyway, the car was fine. A few big scratches on it but didn't affect the car at all. It drove beautifully considering that we used it to go from Milan to Montepulciano and back again. Had everything that we needed and having CarPlay was a lifesaver - only had to fill up once despite travelling close to 1000km! "

" When booked through your site I believed that this was airport pick up but this was a shuttle pickup. This meant we spent quite some time trying to find out where to pick up the shuttle. We were late (regardless of time spent looking for the shuttle) and our reservation was lost. This was totally unexpected as I have never had this problem before. Cancelling the reservation after only 15mins seems extremely unreasonable especially as we had already paid for the booking.

" It's totally a shame that Sicily By Car is a highly rated company on Autoeurope websites. "
" I booked a car from Sicily By Car with zero excess and full protection (the car comes with zero excess but at the counter the guy told me that it does not include the protection of bottom, wind screen and wheels, so I upgraded to the full protection at the counter). However I had a traffic accident in the Dolomites area in Italy where my car was hit by a truck when going up the hill. When the accident happened, the other driver couldn't speak English, so I called Sicily By Car and the company asked me to fill in a form which is all written in Italian. I finished this with the truck driver. When I return this car, the counter told me that the form was not properly filled and asked to block ~1450 euro on my credit card, even my car was covered with the zero excess full protection insurance. If the zero excess full insurance cannot protect this accident which caused by the other driver, what's the point of buying this? I think they are trying to scam me and I'm really unsatisfied with the experience with Sicily By Car. "

When we finally booked a ride with Interrent to the rental place outside of the terminal they didn't show up or respond to say they were not coming.

" I booked a car with you and was allocated to Maggiore. I thought that I had indicated my arrival time was 1.00pm, not 11.00am. I had booked and paid for a category G vehicle. When I arrived at 1.15pm, I was told that there was no vehicle of that category available and that the only car left was a category B, a Fiat Punto. The Maggiore representative (Emanuella) was polite, but said she was unable to do anything. She telephoned |Auto Europe and was told the only option was to cancel the original booking and re-book with another agent who may/may not have a car available. The Auto Europe representative was very unhelpful and unsympathetic towards my situation. She spoke to a supervisor who confirmed and made no attempt to help me. The experience was laborious and unpleasant. I was left with no choice but to take the smaller car. After locating the car I realised I would need GPS so went back to ask for one. Emanuella was helpful and when I asked about the cost, she said there would be no charge sue to my having to take the smaller car. On returning the car to Milan Linate I was told that I had to pay for the GPS. The representative understood that I had been told there was no charge and helpfully suggested that I speak to the people in the office inside the airport. When I went to the office, there was no-one there. I am going to put all this in an email as well as complete this feedback form. "

" The customer administrator was actually a high pressure salesman trying to sell insurance at 25 euros a day. We explained that we had already purchased extra insurance through auto europe this didn't stop him as he continued to bombard us with the importance of buying his insurance. We managed to fend him off and he eventually backed off, but then came the sting. As I don't own a credit card he couldn't accept a debit card or cash as a deposit. After reading the terms and conditions later I realised that is correct. At the time I couldn't understand the logic so he said that we could have the car provided that we purchased the extra insurance at 45 euros a day. At this point I asked him why we couldn't have the insurance at the initial price of 25 euros a day he blinded us with silly reasons and because we were desperate we had to pay him the money using a debit card. 380 euros insurance plus 221 pounds for a 8 day car hire insurance paid at source. No attempt at trying to resolve the problem as anyone would do in UK. No customer service instead just trying to find a way to rip off the customer. So sad because we won't be hiring a car in italy again. On our return this was again shoddy service with the staff treating customers with contempt I have never seen anything like it unbelievable! "

" On arrival at Milan Malpensa we discovered we were in a queue which took 3 hours to sort. Apparently there is a system whereby people who have booked direct with either Hertz or Thrifty (who were in the same shop space) get priority over those who have booked through a 3rd party - e.g. Auto Europe. Appalling! On receiving the vehicle, it wasn't the car that I had ordered, but instead a van where the seats didn't drop properly meaning that it was exceptionally difficult to fit our bike boxes and suitcases in. No other car was available needless to say. The vehicle hadn't been cleaned properly - there was dust and ash all over the dashboard and the car smelled badly of cigarettes. Fortunately the receiving staff on our return to Milan were helpful. I will NOT recommend Thrifty or Auto Europe to anyone, and will instead go direct to a car company in future to alleviate what was an excessive delay. "

" It was a terrible experience. 1) we waited almost 4 hours to collect the car when arrived at Milan airport. And what's the point to put down a collection time when booking? 2) I was told the insurance I bought didn't cover certain things and I was forced to bought another insurance at the counter, the costs were almost EUR 150.

" Fully recommend. I took out the zero excess insurance policy through AutoEurope as well, was cheaper than taking out my own. No issues with Sicily By Car either. This is at least the 4th time I have booked with them. If you're worried about the size of deposits needed at time of collection, check the deals on the upgraded insurance policies as this differs per car. I switched to a bog standard mini size car (fiesta) from a Fiat 500 and reduced my deposit from £1500 to £200. "
" Incredible value. The car was a bit scuffed but I'd rather that than a prestige one for 10 days of driving in and around the N Italian lakes. Saw mixed reviews before booking but the majority were down to peoples admin rather than Auto Europe or Sicily by Car. Had no issues at all. Great value and service from start to finish. "

" On the night of 20/06/18, I've been to the Alamo/Enterprise office at the Malpenza Airport (Milan, Italy) to pick up the car I've booked and paid using the Autoeurope website. Reservation Voucher: UK4423194 Confirmation Number: 1836920953 (Alamo/Enterprise) Total Rental: £209.00 Surprisingly, I was informed by the clerk that my driving license couldn't be accepted because it wasn't issued by the same country as my passport.. I have a valid Brazilian driving license and Portuguese citizenship. I've used the Autoeurope services many times before, including Alamo/Enterprise in Italy (check the voucher UK4238832, from October/2017), and never had issues of any kind. I'm also a member of Enterprise Plus (B3VDZB7). However, none of this was taken in consideration. Unfortunately, the member of the staff who assisted me didn't make any effort to give me an alternate solution and acted extremely rude when I asked for his manager. He said his name was Marco, but he refused to give me his last name (security reasons, according to him). In order to avoid jeopardizing my entire holiday (which included several hotels previously booked in several different cities), I had to take a last-minute car rental at Maggiore (Malpenza Airport), where I've been promptly and kindly assisted. Obviously, all my documents were accepted (as they normally are) and I left the airport a few minutes later driving the car. "

" We rented from B-rent in Milan Malpensa in June 2018. After reading all negative reviews I hesitated a bit but the price gap with the good companies like europecar etc. was too large (was actually almost double the price) and we decided to take a risk. And I am so glad we did. 1. Transfer frim the airport. A lot of reviews were saying they waited for the minibus for more than half an hour. For us it was less than 5 minutes. Also many were saying they couldn't find it. We arrived, called the number on the voucher, they explained us where to go and said minibuses are every 15-20 minutes. 2. Queues at the counter and staff. Many are saying queues are too long, staff rude and unprofessional. Wasn't the case with us. We arrived around 7pm on Friday (busy time I suppose). When minibus came there were 2 staff members and only 4 families in minibus to take car (so no long queues), we were first. Process was not too long and efficient. Guy did try to sell us their insurance maybe a bit too aggressively but I was quite firm and he gave up :). Overall he was polite. Then the girl spent quite a lot of time with us explaining how everything in the car works as my mum isn't a frequent driver. 3. The car itself seemed to be better than what we have paid for (we booked compact and were given quite large hybrid car, so we saved on fuel too). It did have reasonable amount of scratches though which we all marked on the papers 4. Dropping off. Here I would agree with most of the reviews: process is quite slow. It took us about 20-30 minutes, so please do allow time for this. There was just one staff member who was doing her best but their procedure is to check the car, you cannot just leave the key. For me this is better as I want their signuture that everything is fine for my piece of mind. Their were no problems at drp off for me (apart from the wait), again staff was very polite, minivan also was going just after we finished drop off. Deposit was unblocked 2 weeks after drop off without reminder or any problems (with the Russian credit card for some reason we always have problems with deposit inblocking and have to call the company to soeed things up). Overall I can say that I am very happy and for the price I would forgive small inefficiencies. To be fair I had to wait with the big rental companies names some times as well. "

I was offered the same car in an automatic for an additional 5 euros a day which i declined on the basis of additional cost and the fact that i dont like driving automatics. I was then offered a smaller class car but not at a reduced cost. The saga continued and eventually i was told the the car was being washed and was in a queue which they could not control the timing. Two hours after arrival at the desk i was given a 500L automatic. When i collected the car it was bone dry, indicating that it had not been recently washed. All the above occurred after i declined their super insurance at an additional 20 euros a day. A similar exlerience occurred with Avis (who now own Maggiore) a month ago. Ive been highing cars for over 20 years mainly with Maggiore and never previously had these problems. It is obvious that Avis introduced these changes. "

" The car was modern and in good order. Pick up and drop off was at Terminal 2, which was a bit awkward as we landed at Terminal 1. Fuel stops in or near the airport are limited and we did not have time use one and therefore had to drop the car off requiring a quarter tank of fuel top up, as we were in a rush to meet our flight due to our journey to the airport being delayed. The charge by Firefly to top up the fuel is very expensive at 37 euros plus fuel when compared to other hire companies at Milan who charge around 20 to 25 euros. "
" I only used a quarter tank of fuel and we looked for a fuel stop close to the airport but were unable to find one, hence I had to drop the car off requiring a fuel top up. I was told that Firefly would charge 37 euros + cost of fuel, which I think is overpriced as Sixth only charged me 25 euro recently at the same airport. Incidentally fuel stops are plentiful when leaving the airport but very rare when entering the airport, which seems to be the opposite of what is required. If the car hire company could provide recommended locations near the airport for refueling when returning the car that would be very helpful! "

" The car was unwashed and the bodywork was damaged in two or three places. Even worse, the damage was not pointed out to us or recorded on the rental documents. Luckily, I took a look around the vehicle before driving off, pointed out the damage. Oddly the Maggiore form did not have a diagram of the car, the attendant just scribbled a note onto the rental form. I was convinced throughout our trip that this would cause a problem, when we returned the car at Genoa Airport. In fact the young lady there was very understanding. However, when one visits well regarded hotels, it is very embarrassing turning up with a damaged vehicle. I believe the worry and embarrassment are worthy of some compensation. Perhaps a voucher on our next booking? "

" Having read previous comments I was somewhat concerned about the service I would receive in Linate. In actual fact they were polite, issued my car quickly, explained everything clearly (including the amount blocked on my credit card in case of damage or theft, unbloked on safe return of the car). When I explained that one of my passengers had some mobility problems they suggested a particular make/model which would be easier to get in and out of. The car only had 11000 km on the clock and was perfect. Only problem I can envisage is if you ever need to change the car as they have limited branches so do check if there is a branch near you. I wholly recommend their Linate airport office. "
" Trying to hard to sell your insurance. Stop sending ambiguous messages to confuse people and say that the booking is not confirmed and make people pay your insurance. If a customer wants the insurance he is fully capable to buy it when he is making a booking or at any time before the rental starts. I find it annoying and not genuine "

Would not use auto europe again - better to go direct to the rental companies. "
" Transfer between Milan Malpensa terminals is not well provided - it took me 1 hour to get family and luggage from T2 to T1 and get car sorted out. Staff at the Airport office, however, very helpful and provided a better car as available. At the drop off in Rome, directions about where to leave the car after hours at the Rome Termini Station office were non-existent. Had to ask other hire desks, and then make an international call on a mobile phone to find out what to do. Very Poor Organisation. Better to use a bigger firm with better hours. "

" I had good service and people were professional "
" Excellent service "
" Received a free upgrade to a brand new car. Staff very helpful and efficient "
" Always a great price and easy to use. "
" Better car checks at the start to ensure all damage from the previous driver is noted. "
" I tried booking with other companies but eventually seeled for AutoEurope about 5 years ago and have used them at least 20 or 30 times since then. I like the ease of booking which is quick and precise, the fact that it is easy to change one's plans and/or get a refund, and the efficiency and pleasantness of the personnel when a change to a booking needs to be . done, either by email or on the phone. "
" Quick pickup, literally less than 5 minutes, and dropoff, about 2 minutes!!! "
" I like your service and have been impressed over the years. Never had to use the refund excess service and just concerned about whether it works? "
" People at desk are not there for customers. They are there for themselves. We are an annoyance and an intrusion on their professional lives. They always have something more important to do than serve the customer at the desk. "
" Girl at the desk was very helpful and cheery..I hire a lot of cars from Milan and this has been the best experience by far "
" Car was very clean and not a scratch on it "
" Mostly reliable and business-like - see comments below. "
" I booked a Fiat Panda or similar as my husband uses a wheelchair and we needed the space. I was told I would be given a Panda, but it would have to come from the garage which would take 20 minutes maximum. We went to the compound to wait. The first car to arrive was a Fiat 500 and very apologetically the driver went off to get a Panda. 50 minutes later he arrived back with the correct car, handed us the keys and left. The gentleman in charge of the compound was very apologetic about the wait, but said there was nothing he could do but await the arrival of the car from the garage. As our flight from Cantania was half an hour late getting in, surely the car should have been in the compound before we had landed? "
" Service was fine. It would be helpfull if you could give your customers a written note on the legal speed limits, and other restrictions prevailing in country at the time of hire. This would help towards a good start. "
" We had no problems. "
" Good service throughout. "
" Simple and straightforward booking process. "
" I booked a GPS system but it didn't work when I was given it. It was the only one available, so the charge was cancelled but this did cause some inconvenience. The supplied vehicle (Audi A1) was excellent, however. I would give this company another chance as the prices were good. "
" Price compbatible and in general and also able to cancel if required. "
" The experience with Thrifty was good. No long queue and the person that checked me out was most helpful. Also that was someone available at the chack in of the car whenI returned the car "
" The website was easy to use, but the insurance situation remains unclear in spite of your best efforts. "
" All fine and helpful (and the car was upgraded) and we seemed to achieve full insurance coverage, though we didn't have to test it, fortunately. "
" Easy booking, great customer service; good value for money. Will definitely use again. Thanks "
" Great service @ the airport, great car, easy to book, friendly customer service & good advice given. Would definitely recommend and will use again. "
" All went well with no problems at all "
" no suggestions "
" Very helpful. Liked the e-mail 'reminder' just before our trip. "
" Registering at the desk went smoothly and the operative was polite and helpful. We also got great help setting up our GPS when we picked up the car from the parking lot. "
" Very friendly, very easy and a good car at a brilliant price! "
" Excellent friendly service. Quick and easy pick up from airport. Would use them again. "
" Very good service, everything worked well, would have liked to have had option of zero excess insurance from Auto Europe rather than hire company Maggiore. "
" Very good friendly service, took out their 0 excess insurance which was quite expensive. Airport signage at Linate for return of hire cars is very poor, not really Maggiore's fault. Would use them again as all in all a good service. "
" I feel very safe and satisfied dealing with auto Europe. I never had any issues so far but I'm sure they are there to help you if anything happens . Thank you. "
" Very efficient and helpfull. "
" Everything ran smoothly "
" Very Good "
" Everything went ok.thank you. "
" Everything went ok.thank you. "
" Auto Europe handled everything at the booking end efficiently and promptly. "
" I have used Firefly several times. I actually prefer the off-site location to suppliers based at the airport as collection and delivery is easier and often quicker. The cars are always in good condition and the higher mileage is a fair exchange for the much lower rental charges. "
" Online portion was well done. "
" 20 minute wait to rent car at Malphases Airport "
" Happy with the booking and will use again. "
" Auto Europe was great however when i picked up the car it had a few scratches on the back the guy in the garage didnt want to inspect the car but in the end he made a note. Either way will use Auto Europe again. thanks, "
" Easy to use site, have used before and almost certainly will again. "
" After booking realised they weren't on site at the airport, you have to call them on arrival and they send minibus to pick up. Then checked tripadvisor which had multiple horror stories about them. Should have read the small print first! Was very anxious at the airport. But minibus arrived within 10 minutes of the call. Paperwork sorted easily at office. Car not in best condition, lots of bumps and scratches, but this actually made me less nervous about driving an unfamiliar car, I was less bothered about causing further damage! Obviously a 'budget' operation, but generally a very positive experience. "
" GOOD VALUE AND EXCELLENT SERVICE. VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO HIRE A CAR WITH FULL TO FULL FUEL POLICY NOT FULL TO EMPTY "
" LOW MILEAGE CAR BUT HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED FROM ITS PREVIOUS HIRE OTHER THAN THAT VERY GOOD SERVICE. "
" Fast, friendly & hassle free. "
" Fast, friendly & hassle free. "
" For destinations such as Milan where locally there is a requirement to have snow chains during the winter months this needs to be able to be easily added to booking at time of booking as variations in charges for these items can change the overall cost. Several e mails & phone calls never cleared up the issue "
" Quick pick up, very helpful staff & fairly speedy paperwork at delivery & drop off. However, cars very badly damaged all over which took time to check, very high mileage & I wasn't all that confident about reliability although I did not experience any problems with the second car. Upon arrival I was offered 3 cars, 1 had no petrol so I would have to wait for 15 mins as he went to refuel, 2nd free upgrade to SWagon or 3rd automatic car which I didn't want as I was going to the mountains. I chose SWagon but having completed paperwork & checked the considerable body damage I then discovered this had an electrical fault & wouldn't start, so then I had to wait whilst he refuelled the 1st one & then had to go through check in all over again! "
" Easy to book, good information/communications; very cost-effective "
" Efficient and inexpensive. Make it more specific that you MUST call them from airport rather than just wait for pickup. Nearest petrol station to Malpensa is unmanned and difficult to use - didn't take credit card or certain notes. Better not to recommend this or to warn of difficulties "
" Your website is too slow to change the selected fields for final purchase option selection? "
" Returning vehicle to Malpensa Airport was nightmare, as not any visible direction signs to Maggiore return location and I was not the only person facing the same difficulty at my airport departure time window? "
" Great car, polite and professional staff. No brainer "
" See comments above "
" like the telephone query service. always useful and responsive. I had a question on winter tyres which was answered extremely clearly and quickly. bonus that all call centres respondents spoke english "
" car wasn't exactly what we expected - I took 5 guys and we ordered a fiat freemount. turned up and got an audi q5....smaller car. "
" Pricing in low season could be a bit more affordable "
" Service is good both at office level than at the car depot "
" No problems with the service, staff were quick and knowledgeable when I spoke with them about changing the booking "
" Collection office in Milan, via Luigi Galvani, had run out of vehicles. They only had one member of staff working, who had to take calls, returns, and give out new cars when possible - she tried hard, but there was too much for her to deal with on her own. The queue was badly organised. I waited from 9.45 to 12.10 before a car was ready for me. The car itself was great, and the return process was very easy (and excellent that it could be returned to an alternative Milan office free of charge). "
" Used A-E for many years and always found it very good "
" a) Wait too long for bus to come round. b) Have to phone for collection and unfortunately could not get mobile signal. They should leave a phone in the arrivals hall "
" good company, prices very fair, I've used them three times in the last three week, in Glasgow, Genoa & Milano. "
" Car was well used 83,000km, but ran well. When I picked it up it only had half a tank of fuel, but was marked as Full when I checked the paperwork. I returned the car full, so this"mistake" by Firefly cost me 37 euros extra. They had a 1500 euro hold on my credit card, so no point arguing! Staff at Hertz were good and good English. "
" not enough info about pick up point "
" absolute shambles of a company. Old tatty cars that wont even start . Rip off fuel policy. "
" Needed to amend booking, which was very easy. All details were correct when we picked up the car. One thing that you may want to make clearer to customers taking out your insurance excess is that the car rental company will still charge a full excess amount to your credit card. "
" We were upgraded to a larger size vehicle, which was great, but the "Oil change required" light was flashing. We asked at the pick-up office if there was a problem and they said it was fine, but we were still worried during our holiday that there would be a problem! As it turned out there wasn't. "
" Very good experience. Two years ago I booked through Travel Jigsaw and was caught. Although the acknowledgment said PAID IN FULL for £301 fully inclusive,it actually cost me £392.76 (£301 + £30.76 Eu34.28 Road License fee + £61 Damage Excess that I did not need). It was in the small print! Never again. I have since booked through you and all is well. "
" A trouble free courteous service. Would happily use them again when we return in September. "
" Offered an excellent service. Partly down to direct contact avoiding unnecessary sales at the desk. "
" Made an excellent offer through AutoEurope, had no direct contact "
" Booking process has become really good and you know what you get (e.g. rental company off airport) before you book. "
" Pick-up shuttle service was overloaded on the day we arrived and we waited 45 minutes before we could get into the shuttle. Once there quick and lean process and friendly service with the paperwork and no hard-selling of extras. The car had over 50.000km on the clock and had a few niggles, but overall can recommend for the price. "
" I do like and use auto europe, only thing I would fault is flu to empty tank policies specially on short rentals. "
" a bit slow service , only 1 person at the desk, same with return, full to empty tank policy on 4 day rental is big minus "
" Seemed to go smoothly. "
" Slightly inconvenient being based away from the terminal, but the shuttle service was good. There were some charges not listed in the booking like fuel and the excess charge was 2000- not everyone has that sort of credit available "
" The terminal building I had to collect the car from was not clear. It would be useful to include precise instructions, including the T2 T1 shuttle service. "
" Very clean, new car. I understand the company is new, which is why there was no staff, or functioning office at drop off point? I was also informed that it's a full/empty return, where the petrol is calculated at a full tank value of 82 and whatever is left in the tank will be refunded on card - not sure how this works but will see once statement received. "
" no problem with the email booking of the vehicle "
" The attitude of the staff at goldcar leaves a lot to be desired, the customer appears to be an inconvience and you are dealt with in a veryoff hand manner. The main objective it appears is to convince the customer to purchase the extra insurance for 120 euros. The member of staff was most put out when i refused he then tried scare tactics. to the extent that he stated that if we broke down we would be liable for the costs. He said that the car would have to be inspected on return and that we would have to pay for every little scratch. Shame they didnt find the pre exsiting one on the bonnet which we made the staff member examine prior to departure. other customers returning vehicles were not subject to inspection as they had insurance!!! "
" Very profetional staff. I did change the riservation by phone, and they gave me straight away another solution. "
" As soon as I approaced the pick up point, I notice the remote control of the car was not working. Asking help to a member of staff, he reply to me to use the key (not profetional). , he was speaking with someone on the phone, calling three customers plus me waiting to collect the car, Stupid people, giving him such of silly problems, which I got mad same the rest of the customers waiting. At the end I had to upgrade the a class of the car, paying another 28 euros. I will use AutoEurope again, but I will be far away from Thrifty, Sicily by Car and Dollars (same desk and same company) "
" very friendly and really reasonable price. "
" friendly "
" Website easy to use. All my aol queries were answered very quickly. "
" Very easy pick up & drop off process. Garage at Milano Centrale was hard to find - it would have been useful to have had the full address. "
" Excellent customer service when I called. Thanks! Call representatives were very polite, knowledgeable, and very helpful; my trip went much smoother because of this. "
" Best price always "
" Actually booking with Auto Europe was easy. I've booked with you before and always been satisfied. "
" I was 45 mins waiting at airport for a shuttle bus. It was snowing and I had my elderly mother with me. The amount added at Advantage was unreasonable and 49E to hire snow chains that I did not use was a disgrace! the car I was given had a problem with the central locking and also there was no water in the windscreen washers which caused me problems on the motorway. There was also a problem with the brakes which suggest to me that the car had not been checked. I will not use Advantage again. "
" Excellent service. Many thanks "
" Excellent service "
" Really good and efficient service "
" Really good better service than Hertz and Europcar "
